aneo of the lmm sends hlm his paper.
Then, each week for the small sum of
four cents, he carefully writes his name
on Michfpapur, works night and odd
hours, buys paper and Ink, pays hands,
and does all otlwT things necessary that
said .subscriber shall hive his paper rcg-
ulaily and mi time. At tlie end of one
or two years ho sends his bill, and ex
pects payment, and Is dltcndisappoiu

ceipt of the paper, but evidently does
not think of thu time, labor and money
it has cost tho publisher to iurnish it. If
ho did, wo nro curtain lie would not re
